The Warlock's Curse

by C.B. Oresky

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Young Adult Fantasy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK BLURB:

Clara and Angelica Grace have never met ghosts. They’ve never sailed on a tall ship, ridden wild unicorns, or fought with magical weapons. Instead, the teenage twins have a wretched existence, ignored by their troubled parents in a rundown home and tormented by the town’s snobs.

Everything turns topsy-turvy all of a sudden when discovery of an ancestor’s hidden journal with an odd key to an unknown door leads them into an entirely different realm.

The girls go on a thrilling oceanic voyage to search for mysterious whales, train with a seasoned warrior, and are befriended by a wise Master. But all is not a bouquet of lovely lilies…they are hunted by a cunning warlock and must rid themselves of The Warlock’s Curse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

The whales’ frenzied song grew even louder—the electrical atmosphere intensified.

“Now what’s happening? We’re dissolving!” Clara yelled, watching her little hands disappear and then reappear again.

Angelica observed different parts of the ship, their cats, their bodies, and the monkey crew all vanishing momentarily. She drew a sharp breath. She was about to say something when the ethereal whale swimming directly before them opened its massive mouth, saltwater pouring down its yawning maw that seemed miles and miles deep.

“This is madness!” Clara shrieked, staring down the vast gaping throat of the beast. “Even a hurricane would be much better than this.

We’re going to die, for sure!” Angelica lost her composure. “Turn the ship!” she demanded. “I don’t wanna die!”

“Impossible!” Claudius cried. “We must go!” “I’m gonna be sick!” Clara cried, her face pasty. She clasped her sister’s scrawny hand in horror. What lay before them was far worse than that scary roller coaster Angelica had once convinced her to try at their town fair.

Catapulted forward by the hurrying tide, Claudius’s ship now sailed upon the phantasm of a massive whale. The sleek vessel hung momentarily on the edge of the watery precipice of white light, then slipped straight down the monster’s wide-open chasm…

GUEST POST:

A Day in the Life of…

I wake up at around 8 AM and get out of bed. First thing (after skipping to the loo) is to let Galadriel, my little black Scottie dog out and then feed her. By the time that’s over my Siamese cat, Fleurcita, is usually rubbing against my leg, meowing for her food. I remember it’s not a good thing to piss her off, as she has a few naughty habits and quickly attend to her needs. Then of course there’s ten chickens, as well a one hedgehog (Mr. Tiggy) to get water for and feed.

With everyone else taken care of I go back to my room, slip into bed, and turn on my laptop to start my work. The theme here is software developer by day, writer by night. My husband usually stomps into our room at some point, bringing breakfast: oatmeal topped with fruit. One has to be kept healthy and fit when one’s husband is a body builder, obsessed with mixed martial arts. He immediately starts pestering me, asking me what time I will take my break to go to the gym.

After my meetings and doing some work, before noon, I drag a brush across my head, throw on my workout clothes, move the cat off the bed, pet the dog goodbye, and run out to the gym with my husband. We train like maniacs for about an hour, stopping at the end to pose for the camera. At this point, being starving, we’re off to the organic food coop to pick up some healthy food.

I work the rest of the day either from home, a coffee house, or from my small town’s quaint library. When work is over, depending on the day of the week, there are a few options: we can take Galadriel to the dog park, or I go to a ceramic or writing class. I try to write for an hour or so a day…the goal is five to ten pages a week, which is why a novel takes me forever. I remind myself that quality matters.

A healthy dinner is materialized at some point during all of this, which is followed by an hour or two of meditation with friends over zoom. If I am not too energized, I’m able to fall asleep, listening to my husband’s soft, yet irritating snoring.

AUTHOR BIO:

Fascinated by the works of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, C.B. Oresky began writing her own fantasy novel, The Warlock’s Curse, after dreaming of being whisked off to an alien realm. Besides her debut novel, she has seen four of her short stories published in a small, national literary press: Conceit Magazine. When she’s not writing, she can be found wandering through the woods, dancing flamenco, or planting flowers in her garden. She currently lives in a small town in Connecticut with her bodybuilder husband, their exceptionally naughty Scottish terrier and Siamese cat, ten chickens, Mr. Tiggy the hedgehog, and a yard filled with majestic flowers.
